tka: remove test cases for sync from far behind

I cherry-picked these changes to get the SeedAUMs helper for another
cherry-picked commit, but this branch is missing the fix. Remove the
tests for now; the required fix isn't currently in consideration for
this release.

Updates tailscale/corp#40404
